Priced my goods on every shore,
But r:e made the observation

And He Went Away sorrowful.

A curious story comes from the city"
Not many days since man appeared at
the Bank of England, perspiring under the
weight of heavy bag. which he threw
upon the counter and asked to have changed
for gold The bag contained exactly tlOO
worth of fourpenny bits of the year 1858
all Of the 5000 as bright and unworn as
when freshly issued from the mint. The
owner explained that the coins were legacy
from his grandmother, who had just died,
and who, having a passion for fourpenny
pisces, had procured the bagful at the bank
half century ago and boarded them care
fully until the day of her death. The lcga-
tee took his fl00 in gold and departed. Next
morning he reappeared in very excited
state Of mind, and asked for the four
penny bits back: for" said he, II
am told that the jewellers will give Il shil-
ling apiece for them He was politely in
formed that his coins had been dis
tributed," " and that it was impossible to re-
turn them now. Thereupon he went away
sorrowful And now everybody who has q
friend in the bank is gleefully exhibiting
hand new fourpenny bits, which he intends
to have made up into breastpins and other
trines of personal adornment. Let

Market for American Prints.

The artistic value Of etchings seems to
have hit the American public as hard as it
once did the European. A prominent print
seller AYERS that the sale OF European etch-
ings is nearly dead. American prints are
now at the top Of the market This Is the
case, he says, on account Of the copyright
law In the absence of an international
copyright, the most costly foreign prints
are copied here and the market flooded
with them at half dollar or 81 apiece,
while the originals cost from SEQ TO $3.50
People object to paying high prices for q
picture any one can buy a copy Of for next
to nothing, and so purchase the copyrighted
native work by preference.
The publishers Of books report much the
same experience. Where, as at present. a
dozen cheap editions OF foreign work can
be given out, there is no money in any OF
them for the publisher. Annual books are
consequently in demand. Trumble

Embarrassing DirinatIon by PaImistry.

Embarrassing DivinstIon by PsimistrJ.
The present rage for palmistry recalls an
incident which occurred half IA dozen years
since at Bar Harbor. There were staying
at Gne Of the hotels a pretty young widow
from Baltimore who was verad in the So
crets of chromancy, and a young kentuCk-
ian who was par excellence the lion of the
season. The widow for some reason or
other, had taken a whimsical dislike to tho
popular southerner and hardly acknowl-
edged an acquaintance with him. vet he
one day ventured TO ask her TO read his
hand as she had already deCiphered the
palms of half the people in the house. The
lady at first demurred, but at length think
ing as she afterwapl explained. that 1t was
simpler to do rs she was asked than TO CON
test the point. she requested the gentleman
to show her his hand. He did 50, and with
an involuntary start of surprise, and
frankncs.s which was evidently genuine, she
exclaimed,
"Why, it is the hand Of thiefr'
As the interview took place upon the
piazza IN the presence of a group of board
ers, the situation of tho young man was a
sufficiently awkward one, but he did not
finch. As tho lady checked herself in evi-
dent confusion, he responded with the most
perfect tact and self control:
"Ah! Thank you. That suggests to me
means of making my way in the world that
had never occurred to me; and since the
war we southerners have to be on the look
out for opportunities. -
His ready1wit saved the situation, and he
was more popular than ever; but the inter
est of the tale is that two or three days
after he was discovered stealing the dia-
monds of a wealthy dowsger, and although
the matter was hushed up as much as posi-
bic for the sake of the hotel and the people
who had introduced the Kentuckian, 1t
somehow leaked out that the rogue was an
old offender and a thief long known to the
police Of New York and Philadelphia
